The Hoosier Heartland Trolley Company is an Indiana nonprofit founded in 2018 to save some of the last remaining railroad cars representing Indiana’s rich electric railway heritage. The organization exists to spark imagination in people across all walks of life regarding the art, science, culture, technology, and economic empowerment of Indiana’s electric railway industry from the 20th century - at one time moving 7 million passengers annually across more than 2,000 miles of railroad to connect cities and rural communities.
The Indiana nonprofit is developing the state’s only electric heritage railway to immerse Hoosiers in authentic transportation experiences as a community asset for education, placemaking, and economic development. Join us and the Hoosier Heartland Trolley team to learn more about Indiana's electric railways, the current restoration of an Indiana interurban that is now operable after 80 years of slumber, and what the future holds!

They started life in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul and are now one of the last fleets of PCC cars still in revenue service, having traveled far and wide. With lots of photos, Minnesota Streetcar Museum historian Aaron Isaacs will tell you their story, which started with a PCC that was supposed to go to Pittsburgh.
On February 7, 1954, the first three cars in PTM's collection arrived at the museum. This program will celebrate 70 years of history at PTM with a look back at where we started and how we got to now! (PTM members: please stay tuned to member communications for information about the in-person event!)

The first horsecars of the Beaver Valley Street Railway Company began running on July 4, 1885. Electric streetcar service started on December 5, 1891. Eventually, a number of companies would be created and merged into the Beaver Valley Traction Company which connected Morado Park, Beaver Falls, Beaver, Rochester, Freedom and Aliquippa, ending at the Edgeworth Borough line. The Philadelphia Company, which also owned Pittsburgh Railways, purchased the BVT and unsuccessfully attempted to link the two properties after being stymied by Sewickley and Edgeworth Boroughs. After it was turned loose on its own, the line experienced ever worsening circumstances. The last car ran on August 10, 1937. This program will show the rise and fall of the streetcar in Beaver County from 1885 to 1937.
